HyPUR-cel® V15300
HyPUR-cel® V15300 is a viscoelastic open cell polyurethane foam with a typical density of 15 pcf and a 25% CFD of 5.6 psi (4 – 9 psi tolerance) per ASTM D3574. The material delivers very low resilience of 5% with 180% elongation and an exceptionally low compression set of 0.1% per D1056, operating across a service temperature range of -40°F to 250°F. V15300 is the highest-density grade in the CFD-rated V-series and is thermoformable, suited for premium body-contact cushioning, structural impact protection, and pressure management applications requiring slow force recovery, high load capacity, and outstanding shape retention.

HyPUR-cel® V15300 is the highest-density grade in the CFD-rated HyPUR-cel V-series, engineered for premium body-contact cushioning, structural impact protection, and pressure management applications that demand high load capacity together with slow force recovery. At 15 pcf with a 25% CFD of 5.6 psi, V15300 delivers substantially greater load-bearing performance than V12200 and V10150 while preserving the conformable, viscoelastic character of the line.
The foam exhibits 180% elongation for conformable fit over complex geometries and an exceptionally low compression set of 0.1% per ASTM D1056, supporting outstanding long-term shape retention under demanding service. The open cell structure allows air and moisture passage, and V15300 is thermoformable for custom contoured part production while remaining dimensionally stable across a service temperature range of -40°F to 250°F. The material is available with adhesives, laminated films, fabrics, and custom coatings.
What differentiates V15300 from other CFD-rated HyPUR-cel grades?
V15300 is the highest-density grade in the CFD-rated HyPUR-cel V-series at 15 pcf with a 25% CFD of 5.6 psi — substantially firmer and higher-capacity than V12200 (12 pcf, 3.5 psi CFD) and V10150 (10 pcf, 2.8 psi CFD). It is the right choice when applications require premium load capacity and structural impact protection while still maintaining slow force recovery and viscoelastic conformability.
Why is compression set critical for viscoelastic cushioning foams?
Compression set measures the permanent thickness loss a foam retains after extended compression and directly indicates how well a cushion will hold its shape over service life. V15300's 0.1% compression set per ASTM D1056 is exceptionally low and reflects outstanding shape retention, which is particularly important in high-density, high-load applications where the foam must sustain demanding service without degrading.
What is the service temperature range for V15300?
-40°F to 250°F.
Is V15300 suitable for regulated environments?
No compliance standards are specified on the manufacturer's TDS for V15300. End users requiring flammability, medical, automotive, or other regulatory qualification should request supporting documentation from H-O Products for the specific application.
How should V15300 be specified?
Specify grade (V15300), thickness, compliance requirements, dimensional tolerances, and finished format.
